If you can go anywhere else, do. I say this mostly because their prices are almost double in some cases, when compared to that of Walmart and the Dollar General down the road. I moved to the area in November and watched the prices climb and climb, like they have everywhere due to "gas" (the prices were rising heavily before gas had gone up, and continue to do so). I suppose Family Dollar must pay drastically more for gas than anyone else, as they are above and beyond any other store I've seen when it comes to inflation.
Truth is, they know people got stimulus checks and they know minimum wage is going to rise, so all of these companies are trying to match all that and make sure that they get whatever extra we are supposed to have, get us used to that, well before we ever get any benefits from it. Because they are greedy. This company seems to be going above an beyond on that level.
I will say, however, that most of the staff is very pleasant and none of this is their fault, they're at the mercy of these companies just like everyone else.
..... But do go anywhere else if you can, to spend your money. It will go a lot farther, trust me. I know this from experience as I have wasted so much at this store, seeing the prices of the exact same things elsewhere. ~Gigi
